It is our desire to build up a network of helpers to assist in various tasks and errands to help this family experience the love of Christ as they settle in our community. They have no family members here, and need help with even the most basic needs. Will you help? Please complete a "Refugee Life Ministries" form to help us know your availability and interests.
